cPanel - Raw Access

Raw Access Logs allow you to see who has visited your website without displaying graphs, charts, or other graphics. You can use the Raw Access Logs menu to download a zipped version of the server’s access log for your site. This can be very useful when you want to quickly see who has visited your site.

Configure Logs

Archive log files to your home directory after the system processes statistics. The system currently processes logs every 24 hours.

Remove the previous month’s archived logs from your home directory at the end of each month.

Set a custom retention period for archived logs.

Current retention: server default (indefinite - no automatic removal).

Download Current Raw Access Logs

Raw logs may only contain a few hours’ worth of data because they are discarded after the system processes them. If archiving is enabled, the system archives the raw log data before the system discards it.
